They realize I recognize we went 19 and one in the ACC last year and then won the ACC tournament.

This year is not going to be, these teams are a little bit more difficult.

These teams also recognize that everyone thinks we're going to,

just waltz through the conference they're not going to let us do that they're going to be physical they're going to be have the intensity they're going to go at guys we have to this was a reminder that every day that we step on the court the other team wants to beat us and this is their super bowl in a way most almost every team that we play this is the biggest game on their schedule

We have to treat every game the same way to match that intensity because if we don't, this is what happens.

Look, look, Jason, like at the beginning of the season, we said that in the first month of basketball, we might take some hits.

Josh Shrier said when he was on the show in the first month or so, we might take some hits and we made it to December 20th.

I mean, that's a long stretch of good basketball.

It wasn't perfect basketball, but it was solid basketball.

We were beating some really good teams.

That was a tough team that we lost to last night in Texas Tech.

They'll be right in the thick of things in the Big 12.

That Big 12 is going to be a monster.

And I think for us, we take this...

And we figure out those things that we need to work on and really, really take the next 11 days.

I know there's going to be a Christmas break where they kind of get a couple days to go home.

Maybe that's what they need, right?

The recharge, the refresh after a long few months of basketball to take a couple days off.

be with their families and then come back re-energized for the ACC portion of the schedule plus that Michigan game that's in D.C.

in a couple months.
